The other day I purchased a Taylor Made R11 15.5 degree 3 wood on E-bay. The serial number is TF10572. When I received the head it looked good. I called Taylor Made customer service in CA to verify the serial number and they told me they had no records of that numer or the seller being an authorized seller.

I contacted the seller and they told me Taylor Made has no clue what the Tour clubs serial numbers are and they buy all their clubs directly from Taylormade.

Do I have a fake club or is Taylor Made not able to verify the authenticity of one of their heads?

I purchased the head from E-Bayer seller  "niblick-99"

He's scamming you. There is absolutely no reason why Taylormade doesn't have any record of that serial number.

File a claim with paypal immediately.

Why didn't you verify the serial number BEFORE making the purchase? Ebay is littered with fakes. I got scammed last year buying a Titleist 910D driver. Lucky I got my money back fairly quickly. I sent the club to Titleist, and they examined it, and ultimately destroyed it.

Driver: Callaway Big Bertha 10.5*

My fault for not checking first :-( He offered my money back. The seller already sold to 10,000 E-Bay buyers thinking he was legit the same as I did.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
